"Bring him home": Brother of Indian student in Iran appeals to PM Modi

Brother of student in Iran appeals to PM Modi for safe evacuation amid escalating West Asia conflict. Students relocated to safer city Qom.

"I appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring back all our Indians who are there safely - Aakil Ali's brother"

Ramban, March 4

As the West Asia conflict continues to escalate, the return of Indian students living in Iran has become a primary concern, with their families hoping for their safe return at the earliest.

The brother of Aakil Ali, who he said had been living in Iran for the last five years, spoke to ANI on Tuesday to urge the government and the PM to bring his brother home.

"He has been studying in Iran for the last five years and has not returned home for a year. Given the current situation between Iran, Israel, and America, I appeal to the Indian government to bring him home as soon as possible... I appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring back all our Indians who are there safely," he said.

The conflict in West Asia has sharply escalated in recent days, with strikes targeting key locations in Iran and fears of a broader regional confrontation rising.

The instability has triggered panic among foreign nationals, including thousands of Indian students pursuing medical and professional courses in Iranian universities.

As the Iranian airspace remains closed, making any immediate air evacuation impossible, the Indian students have relocated from Tehran and safely reached Qom as part of precautionary arrangements undertaken amid the evolving security situation in the region, the All India Medical Students Association (AIMSA) said on Tuesday.

All students are reported to be safe. AIMSA also appealed to parents and well-wishers to remain calm.

"We request parents and well-wishers to remain calm and united. Continuous communication is being maintained with the concerned authorities to ensure the safety of every Indian student," the association said.

Earlier, the All India Medical Students' Association (AIMSA), which has been coordinating with students in Iran, confirmed that the Indian Embassy in Tehran has issued advisories asking students to shift to designated safer locations.

It's good to hear the students have been moved to safer locations like Qom and the Embassy is involved. The situation is volatile, but our MEA has experience in these evacuations. We must trust the process and avoid panic.

While safety is paramount, we also need to ask why so many students go to these unstable regions for education. Are our own medical colleges so inadequate that they have to take such risks? This needs a long-term solution.

The brother's appeal is every parent's nightmare. Airspace is closed, so evacuation will be complex. Hope our diplomats are working on land routes through neighbouring countries. Bring them home safely!

PM Modi and EAM Jaishankar have a strong track record in diplomatic rescues. I am confident they will navigate this. India's stance needs to be balanced, but citizen safety comes first. Jai Hind.

The AIMSA's message to remain calm and united is crucial. Spreading panic on social media doesn't help. Let's support the families and trust our authorities who are on the ground.
